Disappearing Body
http://www.alansondheim.org/whirl.mov Mark Esper's Two-Tone Enlightenment work forms the basis of this short video. The screen presents shadows as positive, not negative; infrared light forms the projection source which is read and interpreted by revolving LEDs. The body disappears. In the video, I imitated the effect using video echo in an attempt to erase the body almost entirely. Mark's piece is brilliant, and the video is a byproduct; I take advantage of the illumination to create a somewhat clumsy series of movements. Thus the mechanical is made virtual, and the virtual made mechanical; such reversals form the core of theory povera. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
